How to fix IE select issue when dynamically changing options

Question

I have a set of selects that all have the same options. Then I run those options through a filter so that any options that are selected in a different select don\'t show up

Answer 1

i've found the same bug in IE with select's.. this bug is the result of cloning DOM nodes..

if you instantiating a SELECT like (jQuery style):

$select = $template.clone();

and then doing:

$select.html('<option>111</option>');

you'll get the bug, described above..

BUT, if you instantiate

$select = $('< div />').html( $template ).html();

no bugs occurred :)
